iPhone 13 Pro Max Why does nobody seem to care about poor performance on iOS 15?

I had poor battery life since iOS 15 on my iPhone 11. (Leaving the house at 8am, listening to music at work until I get home at 3pm, I have about 20% at that point. Maybe its normal but I seek for a wall plug way more than I used to before)
But performance wise it's still as fast as it was on iOS 14 and 13.

Given some of the weird battery drain issues I've seen reported with Monterey for some people (normally due to weird application issues preventing device sleep) it may be worth perhaps doing a factory reset if you've upgraded from 14 or earlier.

Yeah I am angrier than I should be.
I’m new to this and since Apple didn’t even address a bug that is months old, it feels like it’s not getting fixed soon with the “it’s fine comments”.
But seeing people actually report it like you, makes it better. If I know it’s getting addressed, I’m good.


I just switched to iOS because the last good android phone series stopped producing compact phones.
I’m trying to understand why iOS does so many things differently but often it doesn’t make much sense and I’m asking myself why no one is saying anything.
I mean maybe we could have an organized photos app, a dnd mode that actually hides all messages, battery stats that shows usage after last charge if this community would gather and send feedback to Apple.
Maybe you already tried that, I don’t know.
These community’s are here to talk about those things. It’s not about telling everyone how great his phone is running.

My issue is with how some people are posting. It comes across like are so angry that all they do is rant. Nothing constructive in the way they are posting. I understand the frustration, I have them as well with iOS, macOS and tvOS. I have been a Apple user since 2002. In that time, I have had multiple logic boards fail, OS failures and issues that quite literally made me feel like I was going mad. I have experienced my fair share of issues with Apple hardware and software. I just don't think writing an angry post and make angry statements that get others all worked up. What does that serve. There are too many doom and gloom threads/posts. People get frustrated and they want to vent, they want others to feel the way they do. They feel wronged and they are going to make sure that others feel that way too. One extreme case is a poster who was going to basically wag a war on Apple because they were being wronged by Apple. How dare they have bugs in their software, even blaming it on hardware even though there was zero evidence to support that. I swear, at times, I think some of the posters are insane. It comes across that way.

By your signature, you own an Apple Watch. Some have reported that they have had excess battery drain that was being caused by their Apple Watch paired to their iPhone using iOS 15.

I tested this on iOS 14. I had to use my iPhone SE (2016) and enable low power mode to get it to stutter. Even on that device without low power mode it was fairly smooth. Something definitely seems off there with iOS 15.

It stutters terribly on my 13 Pro (15.3 beta). It’s not just that but for a lot of other apps too.

Yeah I know I should, but it's such kinda a hassle to put everything back like it was before. (Even tho I think I can just do a iCloud backup and restore it)

Something you can try before you do the nuclear option, do a Recovery Mode Update. That will refresh the OS without touching your user data. The nuclear option would be Recovery Mode Restore and Update.

I mean seriously. Sure there is a thread about this here and there but no news site reports this or any reviewer.

My iPhone 13 pro max AND my M1 iPad stutter very often when scrolling. Even in safari. How has this not been solved yet?

Because I have no performance issues. Not even slightly.
 
My ipad 12.9 1st gen (replaced battery) is sure having some interesting issues. I just saw it go from 60% to 2% in a few minutes. Then apps were just not working.
 
All of my apple devices are working perfect so far and here is a list
13 pro
13 mini
12 mini
iPad mini 5
iPhone 6s
Mac mini
 
The only issue I have found so far is less than ideal performance on Safari on my otherwise fast and smooth 13 Pro Max. It also seems to suck up a fairly significant proportion of battery power as well.
 
Can you elaborate, what is the "poor performance" you are having? My iPhone 12 that is running 15.3.1 works great. If I knew what that you are experiencing, then I can look for it to see if mine is doing this. The only issue I have is and no one else seems to have this is, when I hang up my phone often either calls the person I just hung up with or the last person I talked to. I immediately hang up and my family and friends are used to saying "Oh her phone just butt dialed me" thing is, it is still in my hand.

That’s certainly not an iOS 15 issue but sounds like a bad battery.
 
iPad Pro 12.9 v2 and v3, iPhone X, and XS.
Boot up fine but the app icons remain blankly gray for a second.
Individual apps are slow to load.

Zero performance issues on my 12 Mini, everything is as smooth as butter. The only problem is that I have noticed the battery drain go up. It might just be my imagination though as the phone is a year and a half old now.

Where did you get the battery replaced, Apple or Apple authorized service?
